At first I wasn’t sure if I liked the characters, they seemed the basic whodunnit /thriller characters but as I got to know them better, I really liked them. Mainly Arne, Caro, Sonya and Katie (the main character) The secluded and dangerous location where the location itself could murder you was a great choice of atmosphere. I always love a whodunnit although you can usually guess the direction it’s going to go to - they usually follow the same main things so when you’ve read a lot of them you can guess well based on how they’re usually written - this one though did have some suprising and well done plot lines. Towards the end I HAD to know if I was right with who I guessed was the murderer or murderers and I was half right. I was thinking about all the clues of who it could be whenever I wasn’t reading. There was no plot holes from my knowledge and I think it was just a very enjoyable book!
